Check-in Wednesday is Here! It’s Go Time!Posted by Liz Talley Feb 15 2012, 1:00 am in check-in Wednesday, liz talley, Mr. Mandelbaum, Pep Talk, Ruby Slippered Sisterhood Welcome, Winter Writing Festival Participants! We’re just a little over the half-way mark, and I don’t know about you but it’s getting a little bit harder to put my fingers on the keyboard. Don’t know why…losing steam I guess. So this pep talk is as much for me as it is for you. Cause we’re all in this together, right? Yesterday on Valentine’s Day I attended a meeting of an educational sorority in my hometown and spoke to them about my writing career. Before it was time for me to speak, they had a general business meeting. What I heard there was all too familiar to me as a President of an RWA chapter – basically it was absolute begging for someone to step up to serve on the new board. When the president pleaded for a few members to step up, she was met with crickets, and as uncomfortable as I felt as the guest speaker, I knew how crappy it felt to throw oneself on the mercy of a group of peers (especailly since it was my second grade math teacher doing the begging). It’s hard to get people to DO stuff. It takes prodding, pleading, begging, empty promises, swag, and guilt trips sometimes to get people to say, “Sure, I’ll do it.” RUBY DEBUT RELEASE: Pirate’s ProposalPosted by Liz Talley Jan 19 2012, 1:27 am in 1700s, Bahamas, Caribbean, cursed doll..., female pirate captain, gold, gypsy, pirate romance, rogue hero, treasure Diana Layne would be the first to admit that it’s been a long journey to publication full of rough seas, broken masts and plenty of adventure…which makes today so very sweet. Yesterday her debut novel from The Wild Rose Press hit virtual shelves, and as a die-hard pirate lover, I have to say I’ve been [...] A Little Ruby HistoryPosted by Liz Talley Jan 17 2012, 12:01 am in History of Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood, inspiration, liz talley, Winter Writing Festival, writing Long, long ago in a galaxy…well, right here in the Milky Way…calls went out from the National RWA Board that would knit a group of women together in a way very few can ever experience – in the quest to procure a little golden heart, the symbol of the best of the unpublished writers, along [...] Getting Schooled in PublishingPosted by Liz Talley Dec 7 2011, 4:00 am in learning curve, liz talley, publishing, romance writing I know what you’re thinking…usually the term “getting schooled” doesn’t have a good connotation. Used on the basketball court or in a competitive game of chess, it means someone totally better than you whipped your butt good and “schooled” you on how things are supposed to go. We’ve all been schooled. Part of living. But [...] Need a Dose of Inspiration?Posted by Liz Talley Nov 18 2011, 12:00 am in Honest Tea, inspiration, liz talley, NaNoWriMo inspiration We got you covered! Maybe NaNo is kicking your butt. Or perhaps spiffing up your entry for the Golden Heart has you seeing double. Or it could be your WIP is whipping you. No matter how you stack it, sometimes you need a shot of inspiration to keep you trucking toward your goal.
